The GV will initially show ok but then not go through.
People have been using $5 Visible lines ($25 - $20 referral code for first month).

Yes, it will show Verizon. You need phone number, account number, port-out PIN and ZIP. Text FOUR to 611611 and the four digits should match the last four of your phone IMEI/Account number (15-digit). The ZIP code is the one you entered when you activated the phone (for a new number, or you can check it by logging into your account on a browser). Text NTP when you're ready to buy iP13/port-out to get your 4-digit PIN.

Do I have to wait a certain amount of time before I can buy through Metro again? I bought a similar deal last fall (for the iPhone 12), then just didn't renew the monthly plan.

EDIT: I guess Metro doesn't have much of a time limit between when letting your account expire and placing new orders because I just placed an order for this ip13 and it's only been about 3-4 months since I let my previous metro plan expire. Also, I placed the order just minutes after creating a visible account and porting that new visible number over to metro.

Done with porting to metro and added the Esim to iphone 13. Can I again transfer back that sim to my primary phone so that I get to use its data? Or i can only use hotspot?

The catch is that Metro phones are locked to Metro for a year.

People may be interested in this deal to either trade the phone in with Apple for a gift card/trade-in credit toward another purchase, or to Best Buy for a gift card credit/credit toward a purchase.

Or, some choose to trade this phone in for a carrier (e.g., Verizon, T-Mobile, ATT) deal on a new phone.

And, some people might use the phone as a phone for a month, then as a wifi device during the rest of the year's time as they wait for the unlock. This is probably less common though.
Just curious - if I port one throwaway number to get this phone for $75 and then port another number using BYOP plan for $25, can I use this phone with BYOP line? I would like to get one of my phone lines on that BYOP plan, but currently it is on another tmobile MVNO on an annual plan for a few more months

Just got the iPhone 13, it arrived, I activated without issues. Went online immediately and was able to buy the Samsung A9+ tablet for 20 bucks as previous promotions have shown. So now I've got that coming too for less than lunch. Go team.
about the samsung A9+ tablet, how long do I have to keep it subscribed. how difficult is it to cancel it the plan if I decide only keeping the tablet with wifi usage?

Same as the phone, it's month to month. You just turn off auto pay, that's it. It'll end at one month and you keep the tablet. Easy peasy.

Yes, you can transfer the esim to any phone that supports it. It's not tied to that iphone 13. I did this myself.

I've never tried that, and I would say that is a good thought, but I thought that the unlimited data BYOP plan is for "new customers" only.

That said I also do wonder if someone got this phone, paid for a month, then let that lapse....and later used the iPhone 13 as a BYOP with a new account, if it would work with the locked phone (or if Metro would try to levy the $50 downgrade charge that they would do if a person just wanted to switch plans to a cheaper one).

Samsung A9+ data point - mine just shipped for $20. So if you get the iPhone 13, be sure to grab the A9+ for $20 as well.
How much would a Samsung A9+ be worth? Or do you plan to use it as a wifi tablet? Just trying to think of a use case for myself. I imagine this tablet is locked for a year like the phones are... I could use a cellular tablet but would rather get cellular data at the cost of $10/month, taxes included, with T-Mobile (30 GB mobile internet plan or unlimited Magenta business tablet plan).

Did you go for a second iPhone 13 (for at least the trade in value?)?

I think they're catching on. Per policy, it's one iPhone discount per line account.
On the website (literally just checked), it still reads that you can get the deal two times.

What is the process to complete activation once you get phone? Do you need to setup Apple ID at all? Just want it activated and be ready to trade in at Apple store.

I received my first metro phone today, and immediately after activating, planned to get a second iphone with add a line option on the website. I tried Google Voice but that lead to higher price, then signed up with Visible and used the new visible number, and lo, behold, the price went back to $0, showing $35 for the plan due today. I went ahead and placed order successfully. Not sure if I can add a third line with third iphone 13.

Dang it, I just got my sim from Visible and now this is dead.

Hopefully this comes back before my Visible service ends.

Haven't gotten it yet. It arrives Friday, but I have one from last summer (not the 5G version) and I like it. This version has lower RAM and is a touch laggy, but I like the tablet for day to day.

You need to setup with Apple ID for it to activate.
